I have tried to explain this to students but I think the article does a much better job than I ever could. Can I propose that in the future the 'classic' signs and symptoms of AMI be called the less typical or 'atypical' ones. Really good article.

Goes to show that not only chest pains should get an ECG Reading. Unfortunately we don't have 12 leads yet on our trucks (go figure), modified chest leads it is then...

It's exactly what I was looking for today with the subjects I'm working on. Atypical (or, non-classic) MI presentation is one of those danger zones that can trip up a seasoned paramedic, not to mention a scripted dispatch card or EMT-Basic. EMT-Basics have to be able to recognize these because of the high likelihood that they will be dispatched to them through prioritized dispatch systems. They're why I support 12-leads for EMT-Basic crews. Front page linked Great article Steve. It’s exactly what I was looking for today with the subjects I’m working on.
